Home and Refuge: Palestinian Stories Told in a World of Dispossession

Featuring Nizar Farsakh, Chairman of the Board of the Museum of the Palestinian People here in DC; Dalia Al Kury, Palestinian film-maker living and working in Norway; and Ali Abu Awwad, Palestinian nonviolent resistance and social change activist and founder of Taghyeer (Change) Palestine who is building a civil society movement across the West Bank.

We will look together at three short videos — and then engage in conversation with three extraordinary Palestinians living in DC, in Norway, and in occupied Palestinian territories -- who are represented by these videos. We'll explore how their connections to Palestine and Palestinians around the globe has influenced each of their lives and what stories -- about all that has been and all that is now -- need telling.

Mosaic Theater, and the longstanding Voices from a Changing Middle East Festival, have often featured plays which focus on Palestinian and Israeli stories. Mosaic continues to look deeply at this entangled web of communities and cultures in conflict and the fate of individuals caught up in these dramas.
